Pirate's PS3 Laptop (Playstation 3 "Portable") (revived) - Hax Network - X360

Well after 3 months of working on it I am proud to present my version of the Playstation 3 Laptop.

Here are a few specs:

80gb SKU w/320gb HDD
17" 720p HDTV LCD Monitor
Keyboard
Built in speakers with headphone jack
Custom cooling (SilenX fans)
Size: 16 x 10.5 x 4 inches (when closed)
Weight: 15 pounds

This project was inspired by Ben Heck, and I decided to create my own version with a few tweaks of my own. For one I made all the back ports still accessible as I would like to play on my 1080p HDTV from time to time

.

Also another modification was custom cooling using Silenx fans, making it quieter than stock PS3's (when running during games).

And here are all the screen shots you guys have been waiting for:

Here is a video below of this baby in action:

I do expect to make more versions of this in the future now that I know exactly how to do it, and hopefully be slimmer and more portable

.

If you interested in custom work, drop me a PM and we can go from there.

Thread revived (was lost in server problems).

that's great lol

I always wished I could take my PS3 to work

looks like it could fit easily enough in a Targus TXL617 laptop backpack

thats sick, and i love teh ps logo with blue light and how you can still play on any other tv if you wish. for a next feature maybe you can add a laptop mouse, the ones where you use your fingers on teh sqaure pad to move the cursor and the two buttons at teh top of the sqaure for left click and right click, that would be awsome or just a usb port at the back and attahce a usb mouse to the back port. great job, i want one.

Just a update, this laptop is sold for $8000, and I have started (planning stages) on the next one

I wonder if you could include 2 x 2.5" hard drives and have a switch to select between the two drives (only while it's off) ... that way you could have one drive fully dedicated to the Game OS and just a 10GB Game OS partition on the other (with the rest dedicated to running Linux) ... ?
